TOP STOPS
a Seaside eats
Part bakery, part bistro,
Trinks serves breakfast,
sandwiches, and desserts
indoors and in its seaside
garden.
b Mesmerizing sunsets
The Mendocino coast has
dozens of alluring coastal
inns, but the Albion River
Inn stands out for
unparalleled blufftop vistas.
c Train treasures
veers inland through Valley Ford's bucolic ranchlands, then zips back
to the ocean at Bodega Bay. Over the next 100 miles, you'll encounter
one jaw-dropping seaside view after another, so you might want to
designate a driver who will concentrate on the road's twists and turns
while everyone else fawns over the scenery.
You'll pass through one sleepy coastal village after another-
Jenner, Gualala, Point Arena, Elk-and each will lure you into
lingering: Hike the coastal prairie at Jenner Headlands Preserve,
brake for baked goods at Franny's Cup & Saucer in Point Arena,
or comb the sands at Greenwood State Beach in Elk. Wander
the streets of Mendocino with its immaculate Victorians and
charming shops, then head into Fort Bragg for freshly caught
seafood. Here, the seaside portion of your journey ends. Follow
Highway 20 inland across redwood-studded canyons to Willits,
a friendly rodeo town, then veer southeast to Clear Lake.
California's largest freshwater lake is surrounded by a flight of offthe-radar
vineyards and tasting rooms. Visit now before they're
discovered.
Your route skirts along the lake's northern edge, then veers
east to meet Highway 16 and Yolo County's vast ranches. Steer
through golden grasslands to Interstate 505 and Winters, a
farming town with great food stops. Snack, but don't fill up-in
25 miles you're at Fairfield's Jelly Belly Factory, surrounded by a
rainbow of chewy candies. Get a sugar buzz, then use that excess
energy to plan your next vacation while you drive back to SFO.
